Hi can someone please tell me if watching a streaming video leaves a trace on the computer of the actual content you were watching. I have a slingbox that I am streaming from my satellite receiver remotely to my laptop and thus am not going through a website. I believe there will be a trace that I was watching a video but just want to know is there any way one could tell what I was watching.

Thanks for any assistance

You shouldn't care about things like that when using Slingbox. You broadcast video for yourself.

When you watch streaming videos, sometimes they are saved in the browser cache (not sure what kind of streaming Slingbox uses). But you can always erase the cache of your browser.

Doesn't your computer have a history of just about everything?

you can erase everything from your computer. what you can't erase is the logs of internet providers and secret services ;)
